[Orgmode] Removing footnotes

[Joe Python]

Orgmode Gurus,

How to remove the footnotes from my file.
I have some perl code in my notes which I like to export to html and tex.

----------------------< org file begins here>-------------------------------

** Average bytes transferred
perl -lane'$n+=$F[9]; ++$i; END{print $n/$i}' logfile

------------------------< org file ends here>--------------------------------

The F[9] above is interpreted as a Foot Note by org.
Is there a way to prevent it?

Please let me know.

Thank you,
Joe
